Allen County Commissioners Refuses to increase pay for the Brown Police

The Allen County Council members are trying to cut their budget on the backs of the Allen County Police officers in favor of the City of Fort Wayne police officers in blue by denying increases to their Allen County Police Officers in brown.

Council President Paul Moss urged the council to increase the salaries because of the large gap in wages between county and Fort Wayne police officers. He blamed the high city police wages on the effect of collective bargaining and said that county staff might be tempted to unionize if the council does nothing.
